This picture was taken by Zhiqi Liu, an LLM student in the Department of Law. It was taken on January 2 2011, in Cairo, Egypt.

I was on a local bus which was very ropey like every piece of it was shaking. There were many soldiers with guns and shields on the road. I felt so nervous and unsafe until I saw that beautiful face which gave me calm and peace. Soon after I came back to the UK, the violence happened in Egypt. And I could not stop thinking what happened to this beautiful girl during the big change in Egypt.

The next image in this month's perspectives is Balanced instability.|
